Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The right to operate a motor vehicle upon the public highways of North Carolina is not an unrestricted right but a privilege which can be exercised only in accordance with the legislative restrictions fixed thereon. 5 Am. Jur., sec. 756. “The defendant did not deny that he had driven his car upon the highways after his license had been revoked but contended that he was attempting to get his car back home from a garage where it had been left. But the specific performance of an act which is expressly forbidden by statute constitutes the offense itself and we are of the opinion, and so hold, that the instruction of his Honor to the jury was proper.””
